"We received word of the fire at noon and scrambled fire tenders to the spot. We will conduct a thorough investigation once the fire is put out," SK Dua, deputy chief fire officer, Delhi Fire Services Department, told ANI earlier.

Pawan Kumar, president, Narela DSIIDC Industrial Area Welfare Association, said no one was at the factory at the time the fire broke out.

"The fire broke out at noon at the footwear factory. Since the factory usually remains closed on this day, there was no one at the unit at the time the fire broke out. Only a guard was present on site at the time. He is safe. We suspect that the fire broke out due to a short circuit," he said. (ANI)
